Stem Cell Potency of Totipotent Stem Cells

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Totipotent stem cells are very unique among all other variants of stem cells, because totipotent stem cells possess the highest possible ability to construct an entire organism from a single cell. Totipotent stem cells are cells that have the capability to develop into any type of cell in an organism, including the cells of the extraembryonic membranes (such as the …

Directed Cell Differentiation | Process and Examples

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Differentiation of Adipocytes Cell Differentiation is the process by which the genes of a particular cell changes upon interaction with external factors (chemical and physical), and transforming into another specialized form of cell, i.e., bone, heart, or liver. There are several techniques that have been formulated to stimulate cell differentiation for therapeutic reasons. One way is through directed differentiation, a …

Bone Marrow Function Aspiration Cell Transplants

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Bone marrow is the central portion of bone responsible for the daily production of roughly 500 billion red blood cells. The bone marrow substance is a very spongy tissue inside the human bone. Bone marrow contains a rich reservoir of stem cells that play essential roles in the regeneration and maintenance of our blood and immune systems. Typically the adult …

Multipotent Stem Cell and Current Applications in Medicine

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Multipotent stem cells are specific variant of stem cells that has the ability to differentiate or transform into several other variants of cells belonging to a similar family. For instance, the hematopoietic stem cells. These may develop into different variants of blood cells, forming either platelets or RBCs, but they are not capable of differentiating into neural cells. Multipotent stem …

Polar Body Formation Extrusion and Function

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

The Polar body refers to the resultant structure that an egg cell (oogonium) produces as it undergoes meiosis. During the first stage of meiosis, the egg cell evenly divides the chromosomes between the resultant two cells. However, the cytoplasm is divided unevenly. One of the cells retains majority of the cytoplasm, leaving the other cell with a very small amount …

Somatic Stem Cells

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Somatic stem cells are basically adult stem cells that are found in both children and adult humans. The Regeneration center uses adult stem cells that are isolated from a tissue samples from cord blood,placenta,adipose (fat) or dental pulp. Embryonic vs Somatic Stem Cells (Adult) Somatic stem cells, also known as adult stem cells, are a type of undifferentiated cell found …
